can you hear the cries
as they fall like flies
called to trial

of

poetry 101 rehab: end
once warm flesh, now cold, stone
remembering, now she was alone
fingers on her skin, tracing, heart racing
opening up, exposed, aching to sing
frozen now, those moments lost
oh how, she had never
wanted it, ever, to
end

better red
– bertrand russell and / or “west german friends of peace”
when red stalked the earth
righteous men preferred to dress in blue
time of great mirth?

fresh tracks
real life
eschewing, what’s not, to be
seen, as
heaven, on earth?

poetry 101 rehab: right
―martin luther king jr, a testament of hope
there was once a young man who flew a kite
who knew that nothing he did was right
he tried, oh he tried, to be heard
it wasn’t until the third
that he saw the light, and knew he was right
(a limerick for mara’s poetry rehab – right)

poetry 101 rehab: second
do you remember how it felt in november
never a thought given to being a member
of that, most exclusive, club
can you remember, oh that is the rub
eventually, when you think it may
soon be time, to
pay
(for mara’s poetry rehab – second and lucile’s photo rehab)
*shot with nikon d700 with nikkor 50mm f/1.4 lens, edited using adobe bridge, photoshop cc and analog efex pro2 with wet plate and double exposure filters applied, not a second to lose*
fit
weaving, back and
forth
his memories clashed
coalesced
the smell of those sneakers
melded and
left him
remembering, how once he knew
where he
fit
(my fifth of five posts in response to a very kind nomination for the “five photos / five stories black and white challenge” from desleyjane and for the “black and white challenge” from albert
(and inspired by a dreadful awakening and by a walk on the edge of town)
(oh, and as my fifth and final nomination, I’d like to invite jane lurie, if she feels so inclined, to share with you her perspective on “how photography helps people to see” through five black and white images and stories…)
*shot also for lucile’s the clinic – photo rehab, and justine’s electic corner #7, with nikon d700, 50mm f/1.4 nikkor lens and edited in aperture 3, photoshop cc, and silver efex pro 2, a layered blend of belgrade and brüssel*
